Youth Garden Mentors - work with our youth!
We are looking for enthusiastic adult volunteers (age 21+) to be role models while working alongside youth this summer.
Fall Crew will work Tuesday, September 15 through Friday, November 20. Volunteers are needed who can commit to one day per week for three hours for the entire Fall Crew.
Mentors provide a listening ear to the youth, model good workplace behavior, and support the staff in facilitating lessons and projects. This is not a one-on-one mentoring position.
Advisory Board
SYGW seeks Advisory Board Members. Members meet once a month to ensure that SYGW's mission, programs, vision, fiscal management, and policies will be relevant and meaningful to those served by the organization.
Commitment:: Individuals on the Advisory Board serve for a minimum of three years with an average commitment of 10 hours per month. If you are interested, please contact Janice Dilworth, Program Director, jdilworth@sygw.org or 206.632.0352 x16.
Community Outreach Representative
SYGW seeks community members to assist us with connecting our program with local neighborhoods. Community Outreach volunteers may represent SYGW at fairs and events, give presentations to community groups, and more.
Other ways you can volunteer your time:
Special Projects
Share a skill with us, and volunteer from home or on the weekends! Contact us to offer your expertise in horticulture, culinary arts, technology, or another area.
Work Parties
Come out to the garden to an open work party and meet new people or plan ahead and bring a group of your friends, coworkers, and family! All ages and skill levels are welcome.
